Chapter 188: Inexplicable Entrustment (Third Update)
Compared with Mi Chaotian's calm and calm, Ying Chong only felt pain when he heard this, thinking that this one was originally here to divide the flesh for the Heavenly Saint Emperor. He could only smile bitterly: "The Yangjiang disaster has not yet been determined, shouldn't Your Majesty do his best to prevent this catastrophe from happening?"
"It's because I can't stop it!"
Mi Chaotian was also laughing, but it was very desolate: "It's too late, according to the music you wrote yesterday, the thickness of the ice upstream has reached ten feet at the lowest, and there are seven dammed lakes, with hundreds of millions of liters of water." Presumably, this flood must be rare in history. There are more than 4,000 miles along the Yangjiang River, and there are 300 places where the embankment bursts. Your Majesty, there is really a limit to what he can do. The only way to do this now is to give up the small and take the big and try to keep those few grain-producing places. ”
Ying Chong actually felt strange, after he went to the book. Why did His Majesty react after a whole month? But this sentence was not what he should have asked.
Shaking his head, Ying Chong said helplessly: "How many people does Your Majesty want to arrange, and how many official positions do you want to arrange?"
"About ten people, five grades are enough. ”
Mi Chaotian's voice paused slightly, and the essence in his eyes appeared: "After the case of the governor of the river, Your Majesty will compensate you." ”
Ying Chong originally wanted to argue, even if the civil unrest broke out as scheduled, he would be able to take the opportunity to promote about twenty fifth-grade officials to the position at most. But as soon as Your Majesty stretched out his hand, he was about to go halfway, how could he not make his flesh hurt?
But when he heard the latter sentence, Ying Chong had already stopped bargaining.
As long as I can be successfully knighted this time, then his foundation in the army will be unshakable. On the contrary, the civil service system is still weak on his side.
The An Guoying clan in his hope must be a military merit lord, but in the civil system, he also needs to have considerable strength, at least not weaker than the Xiangyang Wang clan.
Only in this way will he not be like his father, when he is invincible on the battlefield, he is stabbed in the back.
"I will mention this matter to my eldest brother, and I can discuss it with him. However, the younger generation still thinks that it is best if this flood can be eliminated as much as possible. Even if his brother can quell the chaos in time, it will hurt his vitality. And if the disaster relief is timely, it may not lead to civil unrest. ”
In his hands, he still holds nearly 20 million stones of grain. Distributed on both sides of the Yangjiang River, the fortified city is entrusted to those local large merchants for safekeeping. These grains and grasses are more than enough to cope with the disaster. There is even surplus food to support the war in the north.
The difficulty lies in those who have a heart and do not want to see the calm and calm. At present, there are many cults among the people, and they are the best at demagogizing the foolish people, how can they let go of such an opportunity? Your Majesty, he can only do his best and obey the destiny of heaven!"
Mi Chaotian sighed rather depressed, and then asked in a cold voice: "By the way, Your Majesty also asked the old slave to ask you, where is the Shence Army, when will you be willing to take office?
When Ying Chong heard this, his face suddenly became quite embarrassed. He never thought about going to the Shence Army to take office.
He thought that after all, he was a foreign minister and a member of the world's lords, and it was inevitably a little inappropriate and easy to arouse suspicion if he wanted to hide people and manage his power in His Majesty's army.
All in all, no matter how hard he worked and how hard he worked in that divine army, the division of that town could not belong to him.
Therefore, Ying Chong had already made up his mind, and only regarded the position of the commander of the Shence Army as a step for himself to obtain qualifications with gold. All affairs are ready to be left to Li Guang to deal with, as long as there is no major incident. In the next few years, he still needs to try his best to cultivate his roots in Beijing and expand his contacts.
As for Songyang Academy, he didn't want to go even more, at least not in the near future.
However, at this time, listening to Mi Chaotian's intentions, the Heavenly Saint Emperor seemed to be quite dissatisfied with this.
"It's not that I don't go to work, but I have been busy with too many things lately, and I don't have time to spare. ”
After coughing dryly, Ying Chong immediately tried again: "The little nephew has recommended Li Guang as the deputy general, I heard that this person is extremely strict in governing the army, and has both wisdom and bravery, so there seems to be nothing wrong with the Shence army?"
"No matter how good his ability to govern the army is, he can't compare to you yourself!"
Mi Chaotian shook his head slightly, and then said earnestly: "Your Majesty has your own intentions for letting you serve in the Divine Ce Army, and the Duke of the Kingdom just needs to let go of his hands and feet." However, adults should also remember that Your Majesty treats you with your own trust, and also hopes that the Duke of the Kingdom will not live up to the Holy Hope, and that after decades, he will still be as loyal to the country as he is today, and he must not neglect to slack off. ”
In Ying Chong's eyes, there was finally a trace of solemnity. was about to ask what was going on, but Na Mi Chaotian refused to say more, and after saying this, he had already left on his own.
This made Ying rush out of the palace, full of thoughts, thinking about the intentions of the Heavenly Saint Emperor, what was it?
I don't know if I will be wrong - Mi Chaotian's words just now are the meaning of asking him to let go of all scruples, cultivate cronies in the forbidden army, and manage his subordinates, right?
It doesn't matter if he turns the sixth town of the Shence Army into his own private army? And it seems that his future in the forbidden army is more than that, and the general of the sixth town of the Shence Army should just start-
The fault is that he knows that Mi Chaotian is the closest person to the Heavenly Saint Emperor, and there is no reason to deceive himself, he almost thinks that this person is falsely spreading the holy will-
And when he came to the gate of the palace in great confusion, Ying Chong found that Ye Yuanlang, the king of Wuwei County, was waiting for him. And not far away, there is also a Ying Yuandu and a few Ying clan people, who also seem to be waiting for him, and they are not good.
"For a general of the Zuotun Guards, it is too worthless to use the favor of the king of Jingbei County. ”
When Ying Chong took the initiative to come over and salute, Ye Yuanlang asked with a smile: "Your father was supernatural at the beginning, but he saved his life on the battlefield." Such a great favor is so worthless? If it is only for one Zuotun guard, your father-in-law can also do it. He has been in the military department for many years, and now he is in the official department. It's easy to help your eldest brother ascend to the top. Even the left Jin Wuwei is not indisputable. Yuen Long was very unhappy about this. ”
When Ying Chong heard this, he secretly said that if he really wanted to rely on Ye Hongbo's power to raise his eldest brother to the throne, then the future An Guoying clan could only be a subsidiary of his father-in-law.
Since he inherited the title, from beginning to end, how could he have taken the initiative to ask Ye Hongbo for help?
"Grandfather, you are serious, a mere general of Zuotunwei, how can you work father-in-law? As for the king of Jingbei County-"
Speaking of this, Ying Chong was also quite helpless in his heart: "His old man has retired from his old age, and it is not easy to come forward this time to help my eldest brother serve in the Zuotun Guard." ”
It's not that this person can't help him more, so why does he need to give up the military festival and seek the second best thing in today's court? Originally, he wanted to slowly plan for the position of the army to break the army, but Li Hanxuan's old thing, as he predicted in advance, sold him directly.
If Ying Yuandu can be appointed as the envoy of the Breaking Army, then he only needs to hold on to the north for three months when the Xiongnu go south, so what is it a war war?
This kind of military exploits, or if you don't order Daqin to cast another Immortal Yuan Divine Armor for me, you will definitely be able to win a downgraded hereditary Duke title.
And after this battle, I will definitely be promoted after the victory, take charge of the military affairs of a state, and become the commander of the Hezhou Festival Envoy Long Zaitian.
It is a pity that Lu Wenjin, the king of Jingbei County, has resigned from all military posts a year ago, leaving a vacant tiger frame. Although Lu Zhengen, the Duke of Rongguo, came forward to help him this time, Ying Chong also owed a favor for this.
Although these two are old fathers, but people die and the tea is cold, these two are willing to help him to this point, and they are already very nostalgic for the old love.
"After all, he is still unwilling to do his best, and his Lu Wenjin's life is only worth one Zuotun guard. ”
Ye Yuanlang snorted, full of disdain: "But what do you think? After winning my talent, I will only be put in the post of Zuotun Guard, and I will only learn talents and waste my years." Chong'er, do you know that now this is full of up and down, how do you see you now?"
Ying Chong knew what he meant, and glanced around. Although he was talking to Mi Chaotian just now, he was delayed for a while. But at this moment, there are still some officials, who go out of the palace in twos and threes.
Some would casually look at him with puzzled or mocking, some disapproving and some gloating, and then they would all turn back and talk to their companions.
Seeing this scene, Ying Chong couldn't help but be speechless: "The younger generation may be able to guess one or two." ”
